♥ April 2011 Blue Cheer Squad Thread ♥

Welcome to Princessap! And I follow up the welcome with a ((hug)) because of all you have going on right now. I'm so sorry; I am sure last Saturday was very tough. I hope that your OB can get you some answers so you can get back on track with TTC.

Ditto Lola and Jen with feeling much more comfortable over here... though I heart IG since I wouldn't have met so many of you w/o it!

So we finally are getting some plans set for our move and it looks like that will happen in September, so I will likely TTC starting in October. Until then I'm just priming my body with all kinds of boy friendly food and getting some killer looking biceps from the weight training. I'm totally going to dominate my brother in an arm wrestling contest ;-)

Hi Ladies..another newbie :-) have been a constant lurker though..great info thanks to AS....this is our 4th month ttc. does having a cold sway? we dtd last night but i have been down with cold since yesterday...

Ah, that's PERFECT!

Princessap, big love from me too, I hope you are doing ok with having gone through that hard day.

Howdy new peeps! I do think being sick sways pink, but don't worry about it....I think that if you are good with things you can control, like diet and supps and what you put up your VJJ!

Yup totally agree. It is stressful and difficult to aim for the perfect month. Every try there is something which is not in our hands. There are only few things we can control. Every cycle there would be something which would sway the opposite, happened to me on every cycle.

But just because of that one thing we should not think that our other efforts went for a waste. I remember one of our dear swaying buddy oveer the other site was stressed because she was pointed out that in her sway she took Vit B12 (I think) which sways pink. Made her so worried about it even though the rest of it was perfect. I really don't believe that one/few little things dirrerent could be the reason for resulting in one gender or the other.

The "don't worry about one little flaw" is my favorite thing about you ladies. You can't sit and wait till every little thing sways boy, you'll get one maybe 2 shots per year and there is still no guarantee you'll get your guy. I'm all for doing your best and hoping it's sticky.

Yea, I'd be hitting menopause when my perfect month would come around with all the stars aligned!

Aqua, were you talking about Maz? I wonder if she's actually having a boy? I think she ended up thinking she was right before we all fled from IG. Dang, I loved that girl, wish she came over here to play. She did a freakin' headstand after she dtd, remember? That is some dedication to swaying!

Hey Hey ladies!

Lola I miss Maz too ... I assume that's who Aqua was referring to b/c I remember exactly the quote "B12 sways HEAVILY for girl" ... that was what Tamara told her, and oh I remember how it messed with her. Last I remember she did pop on and say that the 20wk u/s showed boy, in spite of the earlier ones leaning girl. I do have a friend IRL who was told girl at 16 wks, but boy at 20 ... and he is definitely a boy. I hope she does in fact have a blue bean in there. I've always got a couple extra fingers crossed for our Mamas who already have several girls, KWIM?

Swaynpray, I was getting over a stomach bug when I got pg with DD2 but I was NOT swaying at all ... I really think if you were doing diet, supps, etc. I wouldn't worry about the sickness.

Yeah girls. I was talking about Maz. I thought about her few times. Wish we could see her updates somewhere and touch base with her. It did feel like a roller coaster for her over there. Yeah.. her earlier scans were not clear. Hope the one she got at 20 week was the right one and she got her blue bean.

I bet she is about to have that kid! Wantalittleman is having her little man (scheduled section) on May 2! Holy crap, I would have been due this month if my first attempt worked. It's been THAT long. WOW.

Anyway, on the sickness issue....just DON'T take an antihistimine or anything that dries up your nose, because it will dry up the same boy-friendly mucus in your cooter, too. I think you guys already attempted, so don't get freaked out if you did! Just saying, in case.....

I am so glad I found you girls over here!! The support is amazing!
I had stopped swaying with regards to timing, and such but all the girls due when I was due are delivering and they are having boys so it is making me want to sway again. We have only been doing doggy {sorry if TMI} as I feel like it will help, but then I read lots of sways where they were successful in getting their boy in missionary position...what do you girls think? I am going to do diet changes, timing and lots of praying...I just got AF today and was upset but glad that it is back to normal, as it was a 28 day cycle...maybe all the stress was causing changes in my cycle...who really knows right?

Jen, I am so glad we touched base again!! When is your dreaded due date coming up? Mine is Tuesday and my DH is so sweet and took the day off work and we are going to take the girls somewhere for the day and then do dinner just us...he has been great as I feel like all I do is think about the baby we lost and how we should be having a child right now...I cannot stop the tears lately and feel right back to where I was when it happened.

Lola, quick question...I am just wondering if you ended up using clomid? I am turning 35 the end of this month and really want to be pregnant and was going to ask my OB for it...my DH doesn't want to do fertility stuff but agreed to clomid so thinking we might start it next cycle. I read it sways girls but see that TONS of girls had boys on it...Any advice.

I get the sense that things are more relaxed over here which is great...I truly believe that we get what we get but that swaying a little makes us feel better that we tried! I too needed a break from IG as I was stressing about everything I ate, drank and did! even fans blowing, scents of candles going, it all became a little much...glad to be here!

Princess, I did not do Clomid....it happened naturally, thankfully. My doctor said after 6 months of natural ttc she would put me on it, but I did get pg and had the chemical on month 6. She asked me to take a month off, and we got pg again on month 8. With me naturally getting pg on month 6, she said probably no need because I was ovulating on my own. My dr is not against Clomid, but she does not presribe it unless there is evidence that there is no ovulation. I think she doesn't want people to risk twins if unnecessary. If I were you, I would ttc for a few months without it and see what happens, unless you and your body are fine with gestating mulitples. I am just more of a natural girl....I'd rather not mess too much with mother nature unless absolutely necessary, kwim? And it does indeed dry you up, which sways girl, but you could try to counter that. And true, lots of boys are born on it. Babydes took it for a couple cycles, maybe she can give her opinion. If you are ovulating on your own, I would not use it though.

Oh, and I forgot to say, that I really think cutting all dairy out of my diet messed with my fertility somehow. The IG diet was not good for me. It's only when I added dairy back in that I got bfps, two in a row!

Thanks Lola...I have been adding milk back into my diet too as I am scared it will be hurting my fertility. Did you do the IG diet then? how much dairy did you have?
What are your thoughts on positions affecting gender...thanks!

:wave:Hi Ladies!! I hope you're all doing well. It's so nice to have a thread to help each other just like what we did back in 2008 in the other site.

Welcome to newbies! Those who don't know me I am one of the orginal BC girls.

Jen' what CD are you on?

Begonia' you mean b6 not b12 right? I'm condused :think:.

Ladies- I have a question about the RJ/BP which one are you taking?

Totally! Thanks for catching it.

Princessap I think for position I would do whatever you feel gets deepest penetration, and that not even so much b/c of "swaying" but just in general getting those spermies closer to the cervix is better for getting pg. I would apologize for TMI but at this point I think we are all well past TMI in our swaying discussions, LOL! And FWIW I think milk is a-ok. I do think there could be something to the ratio of our intake of dairy compared to our intake of potassium/sodium, but I think dairy is totally fine as part of the boy sway and I never cut it out 100%, even when I was following IG. After all milk has some decent potassium levels in it, and honestly was probably my main source of potassium when I got pg with my ladies since my diet was very carb heavy, and last I checked cupcakes have no potassium! Shocking! So I'm including some dairy, around 1-2 servings a day, but I used to easily have 4-5. Just my opinion though.

Jen your attempt should be any day now right?!?! How are those OPK's looking?

Just wanted to add I'm not taking RJ or I would've opined on your question, MFC ... not ignoring it :-) I've been thinking of adding it in as I get closer to my attempt though so will be curious to see what most people have been taking.

On that note anyone big into wheatgrass? For convenience sake I'm thinking I will pick up the powdered kind. Lola I think I remember you said you took it but as the juice, right?

I'm so glad we're "together" again too. I would have been due the 28th but I'm actually doing ok. I have an overall positive feeling right now and maybe it's denial but I'll take it. I still have rough times/days but DH being super excited about ttc makes it so much easier. It took him a while but he talks about the m/c in terms of the baby now instead of talking about what almost happened to me, I've healed so much by talking and crying with him. Again, probably denial but for now I'm doing really well.

MFC & begonia- cd 12 and first ewcm sighting so any day now!

YEAH!

And separately I am glad you're (and DH, too) handling the month well in spite of the significance.

Now go get yourself knocked up :-)

Begonia' I've been taking the first one (I posted the links), but I am confused now because I noticed that some girls are taking the 2nd one. Will see what most people have been taking!

Jen' Good luck hun.

B12' makes folice acid works better and I took it with my boy sway back in 2008 and I am taking it right now too no problem.
B6 help to lengthen the luteal phase, but when ttc a boy you can take b6 in the 2ww and it wont sway. HTH.

Glad you are doing well Jen. I wish I could say the same :(
Your attempt is coming up soon, how exciting! are you still just DTD once? I know you were pretty strict on swaying and timing etc. When we conceived our son who we lost, I wasn't really strict on swaying so just trying to do the same. However, remember I said on IG before that I stopped swaying? well, I am back swaying now. I see everyone having little boys and I just feel I need to try to tip the odds in boy favour. My Dh is away for three days before I am due to O this month, on my birthday (28th)....so the abstinence will be perfect, four days and he doesnt have to know as he is opposed to swaying! I do need to raise my testosterone levels a bit, any suggestions?
The one thing I am hung up on is position...we conceived DD1 with me on top, which is supposed to never work for conceiving! LOL and DD2 was missionary....I have been only doing doggy but am wondering if it is stopping me from conceiving...any thoughts? Are you sticking with doggy? (only with swaying could you ask something about positions...LOL)
Good luck, FX for BFP for you this month!

Well, I did the IG diet for the first 4 months, all bfn. In fact, I did the entire IG boy sway, complete with egg whites and doing tons of bsf before dtd, the whole shebang. On month 5, I just said the hell with it and started having a glass of wine here and there and eating some cheese and having some cereal with milk. I didn't start going overboard and chugging glasses of milk and eating cartons of yogurt or anything, but I did have some as opposed to the first 4 months where I had zero. Since then, I have almond milk with a high protein cereal in the morning sometimes (I switch out with eggs and toast, and always had a banana in the morning also). Now that I'm pg, I have a yogurt or some cottage cheese everyday. But when swaying, I would have cheese whenever, almond milk, and whole milk- I didn't drink glasses of it, but had it in cereal pretty much every day.

As far as positions go, I would definitely do doggy style for the actual bd, or at least get in that position when DH was ready to O. We did that both times we bd for this baby. It's totally not my favorite thing, but DH sure likes it (I think all men do, they feel so primitive caveman or something). But, that being said, if you just can't deal with that, I think any position with true deep penetration is good....Atomic had a good post on that. I would just NOT get up at all for 30 minutes, so go pee right before you dtd! When we dtd, I had DH slip a big pillow under my butt and I just swiveled around. To be honest, I went in the bathroom and peed, put some preseed up there, and had a big O by myself first.

I took and RJ/BP capsule (some natural health food store kind, but I think any will do, as long as it is pure and all)....I really think those two are an important part of a boy sway. I also had a green drink....two different ones, one is a green powder mixture with wheatgrass in it, and the other was Chloroxygen, which is a tincture that you mix with a bit of water, which beefs up your blood, among other things. And yes, I pooped green all the time. :eek:

Thanks Lola...we conceived our loss which was a boy doing doggy so that is why I am stuck on that position. I just worry that when I flip around it is all going to fall out {gross I know}. We usually DTD at night but I am thinking of switching to the morning as I hear sperm count is higher in the morning. I don't normally get up for at least an hour if not longer and always pee before we DTD. Totally personal question here...how long does your DH stay in you afterwards? I always worry mine doesn't stay in long enough, or am I just worrying about nothing! I must admit it was easier when I had decided not to sway anymore. now that i am swaying again I am stressing about everything...really trying not to though!

My FabulusChildren, I took the first one. Its really is yummy. I think it has the right composition or something. That was recommended by RingosDrum over at the other place.

Princeasap, I don't thonk the longer amount of time DH stays in you after DTD matters a lot. Because after he shoots, its all in there and he can withdraw anytime. Mine was in there for a min or so after he did and then he took himself out. lol feels totally wierd explaining it, but Hey!
